Peach Cobbler

Peaches are in season and I couldn't resist buying a basket of them. But with only 2 people in the house and having peaches so perfectly ripe I was worried about them going bad. What better way to use peaches then peach cobbler.

The only thing that I was missing that would have made this absolutely perfect was vanilla ice cream.

Ingredientsserves 4-6

12 fresh peaches - peeled, pitted and cut into chunks

1/3 cup white sugar

1/3 cup brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 cup all-purpose white flour

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1/3 cup white sugar

1/3 cup brown sugar

1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces

1/3-1/2 cups boiling water

MIX TOGETHER:

3 tbsp white sugar

1 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 425 F

To easily peel peaches cut a small x into the flesh with a pairing knife

Then place the peaches into a large bowl and poor boiling water over top. Have a bowl of ice water ready and after the peaches have sat in the boiling waiter for 40sec-1min take them out with a slotted spoon and place them in the ice water. The skin should now be loose and easy to pull off.
